Reviews For Zento Sushi

Visited with my wife and daughter as we wished to try something new (to us at least). Restaurant has a relatively small floor space but there is an upstairs area. Lavatories are clean. Initially, the size of the menu was a warning sign - in my experience, this frequently indicates mediocrity. HOWVER, I WAS WRONG! The food and service are absolutely outstanding. We ordered a lot of dishes to sample the quality and nothing was disappointing. The staff are helpful and polite. Also there is a 10% reduction for cash payment. I thoroughly recommend Zento and will return again soon. Pictures: Mackerel sashimi, tofu in soy sauce, gyoza soup, volcano rolls and eel rolls.

Absolutely best sushi I've had in a long time. Though a bit amateurish service...bless that's amply made good by the excellent food

Visited with my girlfriend, I had the katsu chicken and rice and she had a ramen, both were delicious, the atmosphere was nice and relaxed, the service was much faster than I was expecting and the prices were quite reasonable. Would recommend!

Superb! Filling and tasty food for such a generous price incredible! Definitely coming back. Kakuni ramen is so good highly recommended. I'd prefer noodles to be slightly thicker but can't complain for this price. Chicken gyozas are delicious!

Best place in the UK for Japanese food. Hot or cold every single dish is amazing and tasty. I have been going there since they opened. Best to pay in cash. Food is so tasty and perfectly prepared. I drive for 45 min to get there but it's so worth it. Enjoy

Have been here a couple of times now and both the times the experience have been really good. The service is top notch with a friendly approach. Food comes to you very soon and it is always fresh and delicious. We found the portion size to be quite large every time and it fill you up! Honestly a satisfactory experience given the cheaper price. Usually we spend only around 10 per person. (It’s cheaper to pay by cash btw) By now I have tried most of the items on their menu and have no complains. Will not hesitate to go there again or to recommend it to anyone!
